Next month, downtown Toronto will morph into a full-scale
battlefield, with the front lines clearly defined, as Canadians hit the
streets to protest G8/G20 leaders, and to stand in fellowship with the
people of the world in the global war for economic and political
justice. It is expected that there will be 11,000 police officers,
private security guards, and intelligence agents, to assist and protect
the gangsters of governments who pose to the public as statesmen and
diplomats. In April, Colin Freeze of The Globe and Mail reported that
the country's military will also be on hand to defend so-called world
dignitaries, saying "unspecified numbers of Canadian soldiers and spies
will also work behind the scenes to help thousands of police
safeguard the meetings."

In the middle of a global economic
crisis, the origins of which have been attributed to wide-scale banking
fraud and corrupt government regulation, it is not at all surprising
to see that the protection racket is experiencing growth. All the
police pageantry for the G20 summit, which will convene on June 26 and
end the following day, is predicted to cost over one billion dollars. But,
shockingly, none of that money has been allocated to repair any damage
done to businesses and property owners. The Globe and Mail's Anna Mehler
Paperny reports:

The
federal government
won't compensate property owners in downtown Toronto for damage
sustained during next month's G20 summit.

A May 21 e-mail from a G20
Foreign Affairs liaison says that while businesses can apply for
ex-gratia compensation "related to financial loss as a result of the
extraordinary security measures" associated with the summit, "if there
are losses or damages caused by third parties, including vandalism,
payment will not be provided. " These types of damages are insurable
under normal insurance coverage."

The federal government is
spending close to $1-billion on summit security, much of it going to
protect delegates and maintain order in Toronto's densely populated
downtown core.

The price tag for the much hyped-event
isn't the only disconcerting aspect of the government's protection
policy. Gwalgen Geordie Dent of the news organization Toronto Media
Co-op reported last Sunday May 23 that government forces will not be
restrained by the law. If they see fit, they will use agent
provocateurs to engage protesters in a violent manner. Toronto Media Co-op:

The RCMP-led
Integrated Security Unit (ISU) of the G20 is refusing to rule out the
use of Agent Provocateurs to get protesters to commit illegal acts,
the Toronto Media Co-op has learned.

During a G20 forum on April
30th held by Toronto City Councilors, Constable George Tucker, a
member of the G20 planning team responsible for Public Affairs,
Communications & Corporate Relations, was asked if Agent
Provocateurs would be used.

He responded: ""I'm not at liberty
to discuss security issues in an open format".

Another
weapon of attack that will most likely be used on protesters are sound
canons, which were present at the G20 protests last September in Pittsburgh. Jennifer Young of
The Toronto Star writes:

Riotous
protesters marching at the G20 summit next month may be greeted with
ear-splitting "sound cannons," the latest Toronto police tool for
quelling unruly crowds.

Toronto police have purchased four,
long-range acoustic devices (LRAD) -- often referred to as sound guns or
sound cannons -- for the upcoming June 26-27 summit, the Star
has learned.

The tool is meant to disperse large
crowds, and by doing so, it kills free speech and denies concerned
citizens the freedom of assembly. If the technology was available to
20th century totalitarian governments, they would have used them
regularly, regardless of the pain that it causes in people, because,
simply put, governments don't like using excessive force. Blood in the
streets is not a pleasing sight. Sound canons are much more reliable
and effective. Although such devices are less violent tools than guns
and gases, the intent they are used with by anti-democratic governments
are the same, which is to discourage people from protesting and
voicing their opinions in public.

It remains to be seen if sound
canons and other police state weapons will have the desired effect, but
the fact that they are being used suggests that Canada is following
the same path towards a police state dictatorship as other Western
countries. Some people still believe that a dictatorship is not
possible in our democratic societies. Such a political development is
too haunting. The usual response is that the new world order and the
push for an undemocratic global government is all a conspiracy. As
leading politicians and propagandists said years ago, "There Is No Alternative" today,
they tell us, "There Is No Conspiracy." But it's a public delusion to
believe so. There is in fact a worldwide conspiracy by the global elite
to establish a private global leviathan to serve the interests of
banksters and multinational corporations, and make no mistake, there are
alternative political systems that can be realized and developed
locally in all regions of the world.

It is my wish that my fellow
citizens will completely boycott the G20 summit protests, and deny
world leaders their much desired attention. Liberty will be better
served if citizens ignore the G20, and instead concentrate their anger
on the hidden polis, which are the less publicized and highly secret
global meetings, such as the Bilderberg conference, and the annual
meetings of the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations.
It is in those elitist conferences that key decisions for the world
are made, and so, it is there that popular anger must be directed.

If
we are diligent and persistent in our non-violent civic resistance,
the dictatorial prescriptions for the world's ills by these crooks and
clowns will fall flat on the Earth's face. Using violence and
terrorism will achieve nothing but position them as the defenders of a
new and hostile world. As Dana Gabriel says in 'The Toronto G20 Police State Crackdown,'
"Any violence and mayhem before or during the meetings plays right
into the globalists hands and will be used to justify a police state
crackdown."Why You Should
Boycott G20 Protests

Despite appearances, the G20 summit
is more of a cinematic event than a global diplomatic conference. G20
leaders circulate the globe, one year in Pittsburgh, the other in
London, the next in Toronto, as traveling salesmen, or members of a
political rodeo show. But there are no tickets available to purchase
and see them up-close. These clowns juggle and perform tricks only for
themselves. Those who are denied participation are forced to attend
another show below, one that is less glamorous and more in-your-face,
and of course, I'm referring to the much-anticipated 3D clash between
real-life stormtroopers and their counterparts, the protesters.

I
have nothing against G20 protesters, or any protesters who show up at
big political events, but I can't understand why they believe that they
will have an impact by marching and shouting slogans at thousands of
well-armed troops. It probably has never occurred to them that the best
time to protest government policies is not when there are thousands of
riot police in the streets, but when there are few to none, and when
the government is less well organized to combat popular discontent.

Showing
up at G20 protests gives more credibility to the G20 summit than it
deserves. The smart thing to do would be to avoid the sideshow all
together, leaving thousands of armed troops in riot gear to stand
foolishly in empty streets. Such a move may make governments rethink
future plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for security on
similar feckless events.

Peppering insults at world officials
and doing battle against anxious and paranoid cops can't compare to a
slap in the face, which a boycott of G20 events would represent. So if
protesters are serious about protest, they should boycott the G20
protests.
